| Post subject: | OME H/D or Regular? |
Im going to pull the trigger on an OME lift from Rocky Road but need a little advice. I know the lift questions are like beating a dead horse, and I've read every lift thread I could find which helped me decide on OME. My 2005 Jeep Liberty 3.7L gas is my daily driver, I'll be keeping my 235/70-16 BFG A/T's on it since I just put them on last year and have lots of tread left. So I dont need a ton of lift right now. I need some advice on which springs to go with, H/D or regular. I usually have between 50 and 100lbs of tools and just general stuff in the back and ocasionally tow a trailer with 4 wheelers, and sometimes a small boat. I dont want the back of the jeep to sag all the time. And I really hate the look when the front is higher than the rear. I'd like to maintain the factory rake so the jeep looks level when loaded. I dont have any intentions of running a heavy front bumper or winch. And most important I dont want the Jeep to ride really stiff, I'd like to improve the ride and also want a soft enough spring to flex offroad. So I cant decide what to do. Should I go with H/D rear springs and regular up front, H/D all around, or are the regular springs all around what I'm looking for? Thanks |

First there are no HD rear springs only light duty and medium, so go medium (OME 948s) Second I would go HDs in front ride is not rough just firm (OME927s) Third, Rocky Road?????? I'd go AllJs or JeepinbyAl both provide great service and if you have problems they will actually work with you. What shocks are you going to use Oh and you do know RRO does not provide OME rear springs or OME shocks unless you ask for them |

Well I just placed my order with RRO, I went with the OME H/D gas kit. As far as I know its all OME springs, struts, and shocks. Since its in the OME section of their website and under OME complete suspension. They also only list two rear springs, medium and H/D. I have emailed them to confirm that I am getting 927 front and 948 rear springs. I went with RRO because they were cheaper, I dont need all new hardware. I just wanted springs, struts, and shocks. |

New hardware? Good luck with RRO its hit or miss with them Most all places have the same price, JeepinbyAls is 750 as well Did you get the 132L rear shocks? If not then you'll have stock length shocks in the rear which most "kits" have |

By hardware I was reffering to the Frankenlift which I assume comes with strut mounts and new bolts. I didnt realise some had issues with RRO, Hopefully Im not one of them. |
